President Donald Trump is leading every potential Republican challenger in both hypothetical and head-to-head, according to a new Yahoo News/YouGov survey.
Trump is not only leading every Republican challenger by 28 points, but also leading them head-to-head, the survey showed.
Those Republican challengers Trump is leading include:
- Gov. Ron DeSantis
- Former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley
- Sen. Tim Scott
- Vivek Ramaswamy
- Former Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson
Trump is leading DeSantis by 24 points in a head-to-head matchup, 55 percent to 31 percent among Republican voters.
As Breitbart reported:
Trump’s lead expanded even more when facing Scott, who jumped into the presidential race in May. He leads with 69 percent of the vote to Scott’s 18 percent — a difference of 51 percent.
Former Vice President Mike Pence, who is expected to launch a presidential bid in Iowa next week, falls far behind Trump in a direct challenge, garnering just 16 percent to Trump’s 73 percent support.
Haley does not fare much better, garnering 18 percent to Trump’s 70 percent support among Republicans.
Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, who, like Pence, is rumored to announce a presidential bid next week, comes 67 points behind Trump, seeing just ten percent to Trump’s 77 percent support.
The survey also examined Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin’s chance against Trump in a head-on matchup and found Trump leading the governor by 62 points:
Notably, no candidate came remotely close to the former president in the group survey, as DeSantis fell 28 points behind Trump’s 53 percent support with 25 percent backing. Others saw three percent support or less.
The survey was taken May 25-30, 2023, among 1,520 U.S. adults. It comes ahead of two other potential candidates joining the race next week.
After mounting speculation, Pence is expected to announce he is running for president at a rally-style event in Des Moines, Iowa, next Wednesday, Breitbart News learned.
According to reports, Christie is also expected to announce his presidential bid next Tuesday in New Hampshire.
